My wife and I are always very polite when staying at hotels and rarely complain or leave bad reviews, but we feel compelled to do so for Casa de los Frailes. We arrived at almost 11pm on the Thursday before Good Friday and were advised by the receptionist that our reservation was not on their system. We had our confirmation... more

This small, quaint hotel is close to the center of town, and all the action, but is on a quiet street with little traffic. The family run hotel was SO accommodating, and friendly. the hotel is spotless, and the contiential breakfast daily was more than enough. We also had free internet access. This is a GREAT place to stay in... more

It was cramped and I would not stay here very long if that was all I could get. The breakfast varied depending who was... more

Our overhead fan was squeaky but other than that - Breakfast was... more

I got to see several of the rooms as a result and they were really nice, one even had it's own private terrace with a seating area. The staff as very friendly and helpful, I always thought... more

A great location, BUT. Don't count on restfull nights. The rooms are exposed and on Friday and Saturday in particular we had substantial street and, sadly, guest noise until after 3 am. The service is obliging and friendly, but it was still necessary to wake up the staff at 7.30 to get breakfast going..which, according to a front desk notice... more
